I agree that Ricky Waddell isn’t quite the choice I’d go for - especially if we remain in L1 - but I would veer on the side of the younger manager with a little bit of juice if we do decide to move away from Lennon. Who knows who would even apply for our job tho if the budget is going to be cut further next season?
As for Lennon’s future, I agree with the principle above that his coaching/man management is clearly decent to get us where we are currently, but it’s how much we can separate the recruitment from his responsibility. On the one hand, we all bemoan the recruitment team - and I do too - but we keep getting told that signings were approved by DL ahead of the start of the season so if we believe that, then he can’t get a pass on that point.
FWIW, if we stay up, I think we’ll extend him.
